This season marks more than just a new look; it’s a homecoming. The partnership reunites the iconic three stripes with the legendary hoops of the DHL Stormers, stitched together by the shared spirit of Cape Town rugby and the pride of its passionate supporters.
The home jersey concept- ‘Reunite the Stripes” stays true to the DHL Stormers’ roots.
Dominated by emboldened classic blue and white hoops, it’s a bold nod to the rich history and pride of the club fused with evolutionary modernity. A statement of legacy. A symbol of unity. Worn with heart, it carries the hopes of the Cape; past, present, and rising.
The away jersey concept “Remix the Stripes” takes on a vibrant twist. Inspired by the streets of Bo-Kaap, a neighbourhood known for its deep rugby heritage, cultural diversity, and vibrantly decorated homes, the jersey bursts with electric hues of lucid pink, lime burst, and lucid cyan. A remix of tradition that celebrates freedom, energy, and individuality.

Built for peak performance on the pitch, and worn by leading franchise and national rugby teams around the world- these new Adidas rugby jerseys are designed to keep players dry and focused.
- The 100% recycled polyester double-knit fabric wicks moisture away from the skin, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly, so players stay cool, dry, and comfortable throughout the match.
- Lightweight yet durable, the jersey offers a close, athletic fit that supports freedom of movement without excess fabric.
- Reinforced stitching in high-stress zones ensures it stands up to the toughest tackles and scrums.
“It's a great honour for us to be reunited with the DHL Stormers again. The team and the dynamic way they play rugby embodies the flair and passion of their supporters. This partnership is about more than sport; it’s about honouring tradition whilst also celebrating a new era of bold ambition. It’s a kit that will allow the team to perform at their very best whilst feeling comfortable and confident,” says Tom Brown, senior brand director at Adidas South Africa.
The Home jersey is available from 19 September, and the Away jersey is available from 3 October at select adidas retail stores, adidas.co.za, and select sports retailers.
